Abstract

The quantum mechanical description of microscopic phenomena treats minuscule particles as waves and explains why atoms and molecules absorb and emit radiation at particular frequencies. This article reviews the physical theory of waves and discusses similarities between atoms and musical instruments. In particular, it describes how we may identify new musical scales and harmonies and play atomic music by translating and scaling the frequencies in the atomic world to the audible spectrum.

原子和鱼龙的量子振动
微观现象的量子力学描述将微小粒子视为波,并解释了原子和分子以特定频率吸收和发射辐射的原因。本文回顾了波的物理理论,并讨论了原子和乐器之间的相似之处。特别是,它描述了我们如何识别新的音阶和和声,以及如何通过将原子世界的频率转换和缩放到可听的频谱来演奏原子音乐。
